Topic: Antivirus 2009
Antivirus 2009 claims to take care of viruses. In actuality, it is a kind of virus itself, a Trojan horse that poses as antivirus software. Here are some things you can expect if you've got it on you computer.
Pop-ups that say your computer is infected, usually followed-up by a "click here to upgrade to remove" or "click here to remove", then with a certain virus or Trojan listed.
List of several viruses, often in the dozens, that your other antivirus software simply doesn't show.
"Windows Security Center" that pops up after you start your computer. It then tells you that you need to upgrade to XP Antivirus 2009. Don't believe it for a second!
Buying the "upgraded" version will only stop any symptoms for a brief time. Within a few days, you may see other symptoms, as well as pop-ups for other paid software. You're better off with Spyzooka, or something--anything!--besides Antivirus 2009!
